Thanksgiving 2013

My little pilgrim would like to invite you to join us for Thanksgiving 2013!

We started it off with the tradition of Macy's thanksgiving parade..my sister and I always got in our jammies and with a glass of hot chocolate in hand we watched the parade from beginning to end.  So I wanted to make sure that the tradition continues with my girls too.

My girl in her new glasses this is the first official unofficial picture of her in her new glasses.  She is really starting to get used to them.  It all started when she had trouble with her sight test at school and so I took her in..not thinking she had any issues because she had never complained about any problems seeing.  When they started the first test I thought she wasn't paying attention because she couldn't name any of the letters when her left eye was covered up but when they switched she was able to rattle them all off.  I realized right then that she had an issue...it is kind of such a crazy feeling not knowing that your child is having issues seeing I felt sooo guilty.  I hadn't clued in that she was having trouble because she was reading so well but she had been overcompensating with her left eye for the right one that had a little farsightness and astigmatism.  So needless to say she is pretty excited about the glassess and mom is getting used to trying to keep up with them!!  (That part may take a while.) But so glad that my baby will be able to see much better now and hopefully her vision will improve with time!

Our little turkeys were a huge hit!

These are the real thing though...much to our surprise on AB's return to school the whole lot next to her school was covered in turkeys...it ws sooo cool to see them up close and they were tame so they weren't scared in the least.  The kids loved pulling up to school in the mornings to see their new mascots.

And these are the photos my sweet cousin Abby took of the girls for our Christmas cards this year...she did a great job capturing the girls personalities and we had such a great time playing with the girls on the campus of OBU!  This pictures just make me so happy as I look through them all... thanks Abby for capturing the true beauty of these girls through their big hearts and gorgeous smiles!!
